Living DNA - Father's Day Sale!

Living DNA is highly recommended if you have British heritage... their 3-in-1 test includes a detailed breakdown of your biogeographical ancestry (into 80 worldwide regions including 21 British regions!), as well as your motherline (mtDNA) and fatherline (Y-DNA, males only) haplogroups. As more regions are identified, your results will be automatically updated (Irish, German, Scottish and other regions are currently being developed and your results will reflect these as they are completed). Get your DNA into the database now, to get ready for Living DNA's Family Networks and relative matching features (currently in Beta).

Project Discount: For Y-DNA tests (males only), join a FTDNA Project before ordering to save US$10 or US$20. Find a project matching your surname, or simply start your order by clicking on a reduced-priced kit from any project (eg. Australian Citizens). Learn more about FTDNA projects.(Note: project discounts apply during some sales, but not all).

Paula

I have been working on my genealogy for quite a while and have quite a bit now, BUT my dads mothers grandparents. I believe my great great grandmother was full Choctaw Indian. I am not sure that any of the DNA tests will help me since I am female and its on my (deceased) dads maternal line and there isn't any males alive that I know of. Any thoughts?

Hi Paula, you don't need a male to test, as females receive admixture estimates from autosomal DNA tests too. And an autosomal DNA test will match you with other people who share DNA with you, so you may match some relatives from your Dad's maternal lines, which could be very helpful. Good luck!
